Sargent 68-7409 Chassis Assembly for 80 Series Exit Devices

The Sargent 68-7409 is a genuine OEM chassis assembly — also referenced as the 53-Chassis Assembly — designed specifically for the Sargent 80 Series exit device line. This precision-engineered replacement part serves as the core operating mechanism of the exit device: when the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which in turn retracts the latch bolt to allow smooth, code-compliant egress. Sourced directly from Sargent, this chassis assembly ensures form, fit, and function identical to the original factory component, making it the correct choice for maintenance professionals, facility managers, and door hardware specialists performing exit device repair or restoration.
